The Betfair Football £10 Bet of the Day
Day 170: We're laying Mainz at home to Borussia Monchengladbach at [2.02]
It's been a disappointing week for our £10 daily wager littered with a number of near misses. For example, we landed three of our four Europa League bets on Thursday and the one that let us down was the one marked Bet of the Day.
However, we're not going to let the recent lean streak dent our confidence and are instead going for a wager that will raise a few eyebrows, laying fifth-placed Mainz at home to bottom club Borussia Monchengladbach in Friday night's Bundesliga match at [2.02], which is live on Betfair Live Video.
Yet though 13 places and 19 points separate the two sides over the course of the campaign, they are a lot closer than you'd initially assume right now, as Mainz's season meanders to an underwhelming conclusion while Borussia Monchengladbach fight bravely to avoid relegation.
Mainz's lofty position is a consequence of a fantastic first few months that saw them tipped for a title challenge, but over the last 20 games, they have collected 21 points to their visitors' 20.
The primary reason for Thomas Tuchel's team's tumble is their rubbish record at the Stadion am Bruchweg, where they have failed to win any of their last six fixtures and have triumphed in only one of their last ten, losing seven.
Borussia Monchengladbach have already been victorious away to two top-six clubs and are scrapping for survival admirably at the moment, losing just two of their last five, and each by one goal.
Our bet: We're laying Mainz at home to Borussia Monchengladbach at [2.02], meaning that - before factoring in commission - we stand to win £9.80. Sign up for a new account now and have your first bet of up to £25 refunded if it loses.
